The heart of the menu lies in an array of wonton noodle dishes, offered in three satisfying portions - Sai Yong (small), Zhong Rong (medium), and Da Rong .

This savory foundation is the soul of the restaurant’s signature offerings.
Beef Brisket Noodles provides a hearty alternative, featuring tender cuts of beef brisket paired with perfectly cooked noodles in a flavorful broth. For a more indulgent twist, the Pork Lard Noodles delivers rich, savory flavors with noodles coated in fragrant pork lard, a beloved local specialty.
